Refreshing Tomato Carrot Juice

This Tomato Carrot Juice recipe is a lighter from-scratch juice made of carrots, tomatoes, oranges and grapefruit.

Juicing is our favorite way to get back on track and to detox our body. You can’t beat the nutrients, and uplifting feeling that comes along with a fresh juice. Especially this carrot tomato juice.

Tomatoes may seem like a strange addition to juice, but don’t be afraid of it. It will not turn your drink into something that tastes like canned tomato sauce. Tomatoes adds a light warmth to the juice, which instantly makes the juice more refreshing.

How to make this recipe

Step 1: Prepare your fruits and veggies.

• This includes washing them and cutting them into pieces that fit your juicer,
• This also includes removing the peel from the oranges and grapefruit.

Step 2: Put the fruit and veggies into your juicer/ juice extractor.

We use a Warring Pro juicer to make all of our juices. We find that it cleans really easily and that we don’t juice if we can’t put all the pieces into the dishwasher. We love making this strawberry apple beet juice with it.
